Job description:
We are seeking a proactive and technically skilled HIL, Propulsion, and Commissioning Engineerย to support the development, validation, and deployment of propulsion control systems. This role involves working with Hardware-in-the-Loop (HIL) platforms, electric or hybrid propulsion systems, and overseeing on-site commissioning activitiesย for vehicle or equipment launches.
You will be a key contributor in ensuring that propulsion systems meet functional, safety, and performance requirements from lab validation through to field deployment.
Key Responsibilities:
Develop and maintain HIL setupsย for testing propulsion system ECUs and control logic.
Simulate propulsion system components (motors, inverters, batteries, etc.) using real-time platforms like dSPACE, NI VeriStand, or Speedgoat.
Execute model-based testingย and validation using MATLAB/Simulink and integrate with HIL test automation.
Conduct commissioning of propulsion systemsย on vehicles, test benches, or industrial platforms.
Interface with cross-functional teams for system calibration, fault injection, and troubleshooting.
Support safety validation, performance tuning, and integration of propulsion subsystems (motor controllers, BMS, etc.).
Analyze logs and test data to identify root causes and propose design improvements.
Ensure compliance with safety and industry standards (ISO 26262, IEC 61508, etc. as applicable).
Qualifications:
Bachelorโs or Masterโs degree in Electrical Engineering, Mechatronics, or related discipline.
3+ years of experience with HIL systems, propulsion systems, or commissioningย activities.
Proficient in MATLAB/Simulinkย for control system modeling and testing.
Understanding of electric drive systems, power electronics, and motor control strategies.
Familiarity with communication protocols such as CAN, Ethernet, Modbus, or PROFIBUS.
Strong hands-on experience with testing toolsย like CANoe, CANalyzer, or similar.
Ability to travel for on-site commissioning and system integration
